Carson is one of two major American manufacturers in Burnout Paradise with a total of 38 manufactured vehicles available in Paradise City.

Its line up of vehicles seems to be more of a classic car manufacturer, with more than half of its 38 vehicles comprised of an older visual style.

The company's emblem is actually a flattened and stylized psi character which is the penultimate letter of the Greek alphabet. It is also a symbol associated with the study of Psychology.

Most of the cars manufactured by Carson are equipped with Aggression boost and are generally fairly heavy in curb weight. Some of the other vehicles, including the GT Concept, are equipped with stunt boost, and others, such as the Carson 500 GT are equipped with speed boost.

History

Carson is said to have participated in the development and research of dangerous prototype vehicles, although they deny any claims in doing so. This statement has since placed Carson within a conspiracy after confirmation of declassified government documentation was published involving the Carson GT Nighthawk.

Some 1930s vehicles, such as the Carson Grand Marais and the Carson Hot Rod Coupe, are said to be manufactured by Carson & Bennett, implying either a previous joint effort between Carson and Bennett or that they were both once a partnership, and could indicate that the merger has either dissolved or the company changed their name to Carson.
